ambassador susan rice would not have been one of them. she is from the perspective of main stream american foreign policy one of the least controversial figures in this administration. rice was a scholar at 28 years old. she joined bill clinton's security council and became the youngest ever assistant secretary of state. and in january of 2009, she was unanimously confirmed by the senate as a united states ambassador to the united nations. during her almost four years on the job, she's earned bipartisan praise for pursuing u.s. interests. "new york times" reports that white house aides say she's favored by president obama to replace hillary clinton as secretary of state. but rice's record doing her job doesn't seem to matter much to senator john mccain. what matters is that rice went on television in the days after the attack in libya that killed the ambassador and three other americans and repeated the information the cia provided at the time. >> susan rice should have known better, and if she didn't know better, she's not qualified. she
